O nouă provocare editorială!

Dragi prieteni, pentru primăvara-vara 2025 v-am pregătit o frumoasă poveste despre #dragoste și #tabuuri, #familie și #resentiment, #religie și #cruzime, #tehnologie și trăirea nemijlocită. O #iubire pe cât de imposibilă, pe atât de indispensabilă, desfășurată pe fundalul fabulos al Munților #Carpați și pe cel (ficționalizat) al Timișoarei mele natale. Îi dăm drumul în lume începând…

On religion

“Despite cautionary comments by Kluckhohn and others on the “gain and cost” of various religious practices such as witchcraft, the tendency has been consistently to stress the harmonizing, integrating, and psychologically supportive aspects of religious patterns rather than the disruptive, disintegrative, and psychologically disturbing aspects; to demonstrate the manner in which religion preserves social and…

On ideologies (2)

“Four main classes of explanation have been most frequently employed: the cathartic, the morale, the solidarity, and the advocatory.

Emotional tension is drained off by being displaced onto symbolic enemies (“The Jews,” “Big Business,” “The Reds,” and so forth). The explanation is as…

On ideologies

“It is when neither a society’s most general cultural orientations nor its most down-to-earth, “pragmatic” ones suffice any longer to provide an adequate image of political process that ideologies begin to become crucial as sources of sociopolitical meanings and attitudes. In one sense, this statement is but another way of saying that ideology is a…

On true life

“The true life is not reducible to words spoken or written, not by anyone, ever. The true life takes place when we’re alone, thinking, feeling, lost in memory, dreamingly self-aware, the submicroscopic moments.” Don DeLillo – Point Omega (2010).

On the solitude of writing

“The person who writes books must always be enveloped by a separation from others. That is one kind ofsolitude. It is the solitude of the author, of writing. To begin with, one must ask oneself what the silence surrounding one is—with practically every step one takes in a house, at every moment of the day,…

Quote of the day

“It is thus very naive to look for ethnology in the Savages or in some Third World – it is here, everywhere, in the metropolises, in the White community, in a world completely cataloged and analyzed, then artificially resurrected under the auspices of the real, in a world of simulation, of the hallucination of truth,…
